If you want to create your own patch to change game variables (DVARs) or scripts:

A: Solo play and private lobbies? No. Joining public, VAC-secured servers with a modified patch.ff (which changes weapon damage or unlocks items) is a direct violation of Steam's ToS and will result in a VAC ban.

Are you trying to add features or Multiplayer cheats? Are you on PC or a Console (JTAG/RGH)? Do you have Modtools installed?

The true significance of patch.ff became apparent when the modding community began to dissect the file structure. Modders realized that by editing the scripts contained within patch.ff , they could fundamentally alter the gameplay experience without needing to rebuild the entire game engine.
